A few days later.
North gate of Fire Dao City.
Chen Mu transformed his shape again, becoming a three-meter tall Three-Eyed Nether Demon Clan.
The Truth Listening Divine Power unfolded, and the scene at the bottom of a lake hundreds of miles away appeared in his mind.
An identical Three-Eyed Nether Demon Clan to him was walking underwater.
“Now, I won’t be exposed,” Chen Mu felt relieved.
Recalling the encounter a few days ago, he still felt a bit embarrassed.
Being caught impersonating someone was indeed awkward.
“Luckily, I escaped in time, and fortunately, the Nether Demon Heavenly Demons are busy controlling the Primordial Energy Well and don’t care much about the Qi Cultivators on Fire Dao Star.”
“Otherwise, I’d surely be tracked down, and trouble would definitely come my way,” Chen Mu thought with relief.
Learning from the last lesson, today he made more thorough preparations.
Not only did he change the city gate, but he also chose in advance the Three-Eyed Nether Demon Clan he intended to impersonate, observing him for several days.
He learned the opponent’s walking posture, practiced their speaking tone, even mimicking the rhythm of breathing to perfection.
At the moment, he placed a Vermilion Feather Sword near the Nether Demon Clan to confirm their movements in real-time.
“This time, definitely no problem,” Chen Mu immediately strode towards the city gate.
“Who goes there?” the Three-Eyed Nether Clan, wearing White Bone Armor, asked expressionlessly.
Chen Mu raised his head confidently and spoke, “I am Tu…”
Boom!
A sound like muted thunder suddenly resounded, and a black line appeared in the sky above Fire Dao City.
The black line widened, revealing an extremely large dark eye.
An invisible power descended from the sky, sweeping outwards from Fire Dao City like ripples.
The guard demonic Nether Clan trembled, their aura surged, their forehead eye opened, and they excitedly howled skywards.
Chen Mu felt his heart racing, an overwhelming force suddenly enveloped him.
His muscles squirmed involuntarily, breaking the shape-shifting technique maintaining his form.
His body abruptly shrunk, his face returning to its real appearance.
Chen Mu stiffened, his neck felt rusty as it slowly lifted.
He immediately saw the once-crazed Three-Eyed Nether Demon now smiling grimly at him.
Those three pitch-black eyes were filled with savagery.
“Do you believe me if I say I was trying to impersonate a Qi Cultivator?” Chen Mu said awkwardly.
“Roar!” a blood-red beam full of murderous intent erupted within the opponent’s vertical forehead eye.
Damn!
Chen Mu’s face twitched, golden light flashed as he hurriedly fled hundreds of meters away.
Why did the sky eye come now, of all times?
Damn!
Looking back at the countless demons pouring out from the dark eye, Chen Mu felt suffocated yet helpless.
“Guess I’ll have to escape first.”
Ignoring the furious shouts of the Three-Eyed Nether Clan behind him, the golden light flickered, vanishing from the sky in a few breaths.
…
The next day.
Chen Mu huddled inside Thousand Lanterns City, using the Giant Spirit Divine outside to manipulate the Vermilion Feather Sword to gather information on Fire Dao Star.
Yesterday, the sky crack above Fire Dao City lasted an entire day, endless demons from Nether Demon Heaven poured in.
The once silent Fire Dao Star was bustling once again.
The demons within Fire Dao City were restrained, but those scattered across Fire Dao Star started fighting among themselves quickly.
Chen Mu listened all night, the occasional roars startling him.
Fire Dao City, which already made him wary, became increasingly dangerous.
“With demons pouring in, slipping into Fire Dao City seems impossible.”
“However…”
“It’s not entirely a bad thing,” Chen Mu pondered, stroking his chin.
With the Three-Eyed Nether Demon Clan guarding, plus the newly arrived demons, the demonic beasts’ blood flesh inside the city is likely out of reach.
But for ordinary demons outside the city, they can be moved.
Back in Nether Demon Heaven, he relied on sacrificing many demon beasts to the Forget River, to successfully return to the Netherworld.
If he could repeat his success…
“The Five Ghosts Bag still has too few ghosts, how great would it be if that Yin Spirits army was still around,” Chen Mu thought wistfully.
Sending the Ghosts out to hunt?
He fiddled with the Five Ghosts Bag, shaking his head.
Ghosts aren’t Yin Spirits, lacking wisdom, only instinct like beasts, unsuitable for hunting demons.
Moreover, Ghosts are key in forming Ghost Gate, losing one could cause a major accident; Chen Mu wouldn’t dare risk it.
Perhaps…
Perhaps he could learn from Divine Monarch Lu!
Chen Mu squinted his eyes.
…
Three days later.
On a cold, damp shadowed mountain cliff with countless beehive-like caves.
A group of strange bats with wolf heads and over three-meter wingspan hung densely on the dark cave top.
Suddenly
The originally quiet bats reacted as if provoked and began to tremble.
Ink-green fur stood erect, bodies visibly swelling.
Swoosh!
Hundreds of wolf-headed bats suddenly opened their eyes, blood-red pupils shining a sanguine light, illuminating the cave in red.
Chirp!
A violent cry sounded, a wolf-headed bat suddenly bit its nearby kin.
Like pressing the start button, the orderly wolf-headed bats started attacking one another.
The fierce howls echoed, the air staining red with bloodiness.
As chaos peaked.
Bang bang bang…
Like blood fireworks exploding, wolf heads burst suddenly. In just half a moment, every wolf-headed bat in the cliff caves was dead.
The entire cliff fell eerily silent.
Atop the cliff, golden light flashed, revealing Chen Mu.
“The plague immortal technique-enhanced Mistaken Heavenly Demon Poison is indeed terrifying?!” he couldn’t help but shiver at the remains in the caves.
Previously dealing with Fire Dao Star’s demonic beasts, he extracted quite a bit of Mistaken Heavenly Demon Poison.
Upon thinking of using the plague poison to kill Nether Demon demon beasts, his first thought was of these demon poisons.
After slight refinement with the Plague Immortal Technique, the first test showed astounding results.
A golden sand qi appeared in his palm, the plague immortal technique activated, gathering the Mistaken Heavenly Demon Poison.
Carefully sealing the poison into the Seven-Star Jade Purification Bottle, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s strange indeed, but very effective. With its help, soon I’ll gather enough Essence Blood Flesh.”
“Spend a bit more time practicing the Nine Cups Calculation Scripture, in a month at most, I can leave Fire Dao Star.” Chen Mu calculated, smiling.
Five Ghosts Black Smoke poured from his feet, quickly spreading across the cliff to collect the wolf-headed bat corpses.
Before long, the cave was cleared of wolf-headed bat remains, the blood splatters even collected by the Five Ghosts Black Smoke.
His fingers made calculations, gray mist appearing in his mind. Soon, images of four-armed red-haired monkeys surfaced in the mist.
Red-eyed Water Ape?
“Didn’t expect familiar monkeys to appear?” Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, golden light flashed, escaping to the next hunting spot.
